Things for the past couple of days have been elating as heaven and embarrassing as hell!
The enchanting mantras from a temple nearby to my home early mornings!
The uncanny political discussions sharing their critical opinions democratically, justifying Mr. Lincoln’s definition, near the town's oldest medical shop!
The Indian trademarked hayward traffic with non-justified honking allied with fascinating horn sounds!
Mom's frequent pester to eat something every hour and my concern that I might have to resize the apartment door when I am back to my normal routine!
Not able to memorize the relation and names of half the relatives; asking my mom in isolation about the person...embarrassing but things that I have to live with for not visiting home for 3 years!
Half the people quoting that I have changed quite a bit and some saying that I have been the same...oxymoronic...huuuuuh!
My kindergarten school and those lunch times that all my buddies and I used to hangout together playing those bizarre games of chain-cut and color-touch!
The guy that used to repair my quite often punctured 6th grade bicycle!
The hotel that I used to have the tasty dosa skipping mom's boring idli breakfasts!!! - Once tasty now damn spicy!
Some new additions to the families to get familiar with - distant sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews!
And yeah...almost forgot, unwanted and non-needed speed breakers!
With all these reviving, enlivening and amusing moments, things were poignant sometimes!
Drunkard lying down on the railway station floor and puking - honestly making me search for reasons for making his life so meaningless against the people living for him; Kids working for their daily food sharing their family burden - inspiring yet disturbing;
Yes, I saw this when I was born and brought up here but now I feel it 'different' for good or bad, yet to find myself!
